Hi daphloong, Do you have your Affinity Designer file so I can take a look?

Also within the Application Support folder are Auto Save and Backup folders. It may be worth backing up/renaming them, then delete or move the contents to another location.

Have you tried restoring the file, saving it with a new filename and then closing the app and reopening? If a crash has occurred you can check the following location to see if you have a crash report for the same date and time. macOS: Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Containers/com.seriflabs.affinitydesigner/Data/Library/Application Support/Crash Reporter Windows: %APPDATA%\Serif\Affinity Designer\1.0\CrashReports

Can you PM me a link to your file so I can take a look? Does the text layer in Affinity show as having any FX or gradient fills applied?

Hi bodbdigr, The Zoom Blur in the iPad version of Affinity Photo will only apply up to 100px, even though the keypad allows higher amounts to be entered. This differs from the Desktop versions, they sliders are limited to 100px but up to 1024px can be entered and applied. I've logged and passed this over to the developers to look into allow the iPad version to match the desktop.

@autasticprints Could you provide a sample file for us to look at. If you don't want to upload one here you can always PM me.

Similar results can be achieved using Photo for iPad, add and adjust your Gradient Mask. Now select the original Pixel layer and switch to the Selection Persona, on the Commands menu choose Select Tonal Highlights > Select Highlights. Now you can hide your Gradient Map layer and add a HSL adjustment layer. After selecting the highlights, you also have the option of Inverting the selection from the Commands menu. To deselect press and hold one finger on the screen, release after two or so seconds to be sure to bring up the menu. Instead of using this method you may want to try Blend Ranges instead with your adjustments, see this users blog post and a forum post for more information.

The Clone Tool uses the selected brush as its outline, you can try adjusting the brushes shape by clicking More on the Context Toolbar. You could also create a new brush based on a square from the Brushes panel dropdown menu.

Hi MWHorst, Once you have changed the DPI of the image, when you on the Export screen, uncheck Embed metadata and then Export. When you preview the image and check the DPI will show as 300.

Hi johnhol The RAW engines may take longer to load larger RAW files due to having more data within the file, files from a Pentax 645z range from 50MB upwards From a few of tests on an Intel i5 2.7GHz with 8GB of memory running Mojave loading times was around 14secs for a 66MB RAW. I also tested in our current 1.7 beta of Affinity Photo and this was reduced to around 10secs for the same file. You can try changing the Display and Retina Rendering options in Preferences > Performance to see if they have any effect on how the system performs. If the app is crashing you can send the crash files for us to take a look at, this may narrow down the cause of the crash and maybe something the developers can resolve for a future update/version. On macOS the files are located here: Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Containers/com.seriflabs.affinityphoto/Data/Library/Application Support/CrashReporter If you do wish to receive a refund and you are within the 14 Day money back guarantee, just send an email to affinityreturns@serif.com with your order information and that will be processed for you.

The iPad versions of our apps don't have that feature. You can get some apps that will mirror your Desktop on your iPad display such as Astropad.

Hi jlag, Welcome to the forums. Thanks for getting in contact, this is an issue we are aware of and it's with the developers to resolve.

Hi axiom, Can you provide an example .WR file or PM me a link to download one so I can do some testing as we do support a few Sinar formats.

Hi barryg01, Welcome to the forums. We have a video tutorial on image resizing available which you may want to take a look at. To just change the DPI, go to Document > Resize Document. Now change the DPI, uncheck Resample and click Resize.

Hi Nikon1, Welcome to the forums. Which format did you export the files to using Affinity as it would need to be one that the DVD player supports opening.
